Hello again,
you will love to hear that you can drop the above statement completely. After digging deeper into the case I found out that it was caused by a dead switch. So this is no -pre4 problem, but a hardware issue. The switch corrupted about every 20th packet. So I can tell nothing negative so far about -pre4 with 4 GB. I'll try with 6 GB now.
Regards, Stephan
